The momentum of a photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength. This means that as the wavelength is halved, the momentum of the photon will double.

Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. You are correct. When the wavelength of a photon is halved, its momentum will double. Thank you for pointing that out.
